Sophomore goalkeeper Andre Blake (0.53 GAA; May Pen, Jamaica) will also contribute to the action as he looks to add to his eight shutouts this season.

The Friars are led by junior midfielder Wilder Arboleda (13 points; Pawtucket, R.I.) and are hoping to upset a top-10 team for the first time this season. They are coming off of a 3-0 defeat at Notre Dame in which they allowed a hat trick to striker Ryan Finley in a span of nine minutes during the second half.
